Women's $200 Bibs: Giordana FR-C Women

2 / 4

The simplicity of these bibs won over our testers: The suspender-style straps were easy to pull up, stayed in place, and breathed nicely, thanks to their light, stretchy mesh material. Despite the minimalist design, the straps felt supportive and didn’t slip, rub, or otherwise hinder our rides. The short’s spandex is light and supple, helping us feel content on the bike, and even though we initially worried that the front was cut too low, the garment felt good when we were in the saddle. The thin, supple chamois was comfortable, even on longer rides. We liked the upscale look, especially on the cuffs, which are available in different colors—including a shiny silver.
